Many challenging and engaging activities have been planned that will correlate with Albemarle County's goals as well as the end of year SOL assessments. The year has been planned around the concepts of Coming of Age, Honoring the Historical and Cultural Past, Cooperation vs. Isolation, Tolerance of the Atypical, Myths, and Authors Craft. In addition to learning specific objectives, the students will learn lifelong learning standards that can be used beyond seventh grade language arts. I encourage an open communication policy with parents and students. I can be reached by calling Walton (977-5615) or by email:  HYPERLINK "mailto:jjohnson4@k12albemarle.org" jjohnson4@k12albemarle.org. Together, we will have a fantastic year! Objectives To develop ownership of language by using communication in meaningful and purposeful ways. To develop concepts, skills, and positive attitudes in each of the following areas: literature, speaking, listening, media literacy, fluency, reading comprehension, research, spelling, study skills, word knowledge, and writing. Classroom Rule Respect yourself, peers, and adults. Be ready to learn. Be responsible for yourself and your work. Discipline Plan Step 1 Verbal warning Step 2 Hall chat with teacher Step 3 Lunch/Break Detention, phone call home Step 4 FOCUS/Call home Step 5 Behavior Review involving guidance and/or administration Step 6 Severe Behavior: Discipline Referral. Homework Policy Homework is expected on the date that it is due. When absent, it is the student's responsibility to get any and all missing work from the teacher. With the addition of Walton Wildcat Warm-up (formally 5th Block) into the daily schedule, students will have an opportunity to work on homework and/or receive additional help from us. On-Going Assignments Students are expected to read 30 minutes nightly from a book of their choice. Part of the nightly reading can come from newspapers or magazines, but students should always have a book they are interested in reading. In addition to reading, students should study Word Study affixes & roots for at least 10 minutes. Students will be responsible for Readers Response Logs at least twice a month. Expectations will be given in class. This year, students can also expect to have common assessments in Language Arts.

Students will be given an article and be asked to answer specific questions. Class discussions will take place after the responses are completed. RAFT: Head-to-Pen Writing RAFT (Role, Audience, Format, Topic) is a writing strategy we will use throughout the year to complete some head-to-pen writing. Head-to-pen writing is practicing organizing your thoughts on the paper in one draft. One-Pager 1. A one pager is a single-page response to your reading. It is a way of making a pattern of your unique understanding. It is a way to be creative and experimental. It is a way to respond imaginatively and honestly. It is a way to be brief and compressed. 2. The purpose of a one-pager is to own what you are reading. We learn best when we can create our own patterns. 3. A one-pager connects the verbal and the visual; it connects the ideas in what you read to your thoughts. It connects words and images. The one-pager becomes a metaphor for the reading you have done. 4. When you do a one-pager, you must: A. Draw a picture B. Write two captions from the story that represent the picture. C. Critique the literature in NO less than 3 sentences. Readers Workshop We will be completing Readers Workshops (aka book reports) once a marking period. You will be allowed to choose a book and you will read it during SSR and at home. After finishing the book, you will need to complete the Readers Workshop packet.   $&(78Haf   , F H I c d e y L M X | ֳֻ֤|xpixxx hC"5\hC"5>*\h{ hi|hWkc0J hWkchWkcjhWkcUh/hzkhWkch8(hC"hrh{ OJQJh8(OJQJh^OJQJhrOJQJhrhrOJQJhrhC"OJQJhrhC"CJ H*OJQJaJ hrhC"CJ OJQJaJ )$8HIa O P ` x #TUe & FgdC" & FgdC"`gdWkcgdC"$a$gd{ $a$gdC"   ' 2 N O P _ ` e x ~ #*STUe024:;ouŻhbhrhrhC"5 hC"5 h5 hC"H*hf h^hC"h^hC"5\hrhC"5>* h$5>*h\h` hC">* hC"5\h~h~h~5hC"5>*\h/5>*\hC"5eB]"3Se  & F$Ifgdr $IfgdLgdC"6;STx !'23B\]qt.=>?@ɿ۬hrhr56CJaJhrhr5h{ hp*\hzkhC"h\hbhrhbhr530Jj}tk $IfgdL}kd$$Ifl0d)r t0644 layt  & F$Ifgdr 'e3>  & F$Ifgdr $IfgdL  & F$Ifgdr>?@AX"_xsssssssssngdC"gdr^gdr}kd$$Ifl0d)r t0644 layt @AXYZ\kl!#%23_fv|56ݽݽݹݵݱﱜъъhzjhGUmHnHu h$h$ hb5>* hr5>*h$hhrhrhr5hrhrH*hGh" hThrH*hrjhrUmHnHuhrhr5>* h$5>*3     689;<>?ABCgdrgdC"679:<=?@CYZ7:;HTU+,-789qĻ~jVD#hrhr5CJOJQJ^JaJ&hrhr6CJOJQJ]^JaJ&hrhr5CJOJQJ\^JaJ hr5CJOJQJ\^JaJhGh`hrCJaJh`CJaJh`h`CJaJhr5CJaJh`5CJaJhrh`h^CJaJh`hrCJaJhr5CJaJhrhr5CJaJh7ajh7aUCZ[9:TU,-899:vw9: 7$8$H$gd" 7$8$H$gd^ 7$8$H$gdr $7$8$H$a$gdr$a$gd`$a$gd^q:<AIa$Dw89:CLMϪzvjaVh`hrCJaJhr5CJaJhrhr5CJaJhr#h" hr5CJOJQJ^JaJh^5CJOJQJ^JaJhr5CJOJQJ^JaJ hr5CJOJQJ\^JaJ&hrhr5CJOJQJ\^JaJ#hrhr5CJOJQJ^JaJ hrhrCJOJQJ^JaJhrCJOJQJ^JaJ:LMDEFGgdC"$a$gdrMCDEFGh" h7ahrhrhrCJaJ21h:pr/ =!"#$% $$If!vh#v#vr:V l t0655ryt$$If!vh#v#vr:V l t0655ryt^ 2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ C"NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA`D Default Paragraph FontRi@R  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List 6U@6 C" Hyperlink >*B*ph@ r Table Grid7:V0CJOJPJQJ^JaJD@D r List Paragraph ^m$4"4 rHeader  H$616 r Header CharCJaJ4 B4 rFooter  H$6Q6 r Footer CharCJaJH@bH |} Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJPK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭V$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
